What a year, what a year. 2020 was certainly a rollercoaster for many reasons, and while most of the world was uncertain throughout the year, the world I know best (Northern Colorado real estate) was nothing but healthy and exciting. Demand was continually robust, buyers want to be here and will pay a premium to be here. While working with very low inventory throughout the year, smart and sa…Read More

November was another strong "carry-over" month for real estate in Northern Colorado as strong demand for available homes coupled with low interest rates kept sales strong. Since March, April and most of May were stifled by the pandemic restrictions, we're seeing a lot of carry over as demand still stays quite strong through the cooler months of the selling season. Typically, we see a drop off …Read More

October was far from the typical month in Northern Colorado, buoyed by low interest rates and continual, fierce demand for homes in the area. In general, October is a transitional month from the end of the "busy" market to the beginning of the "slow" season.

Maybe parents were busy hatching real estate dreams while their kids were still doing school from home. Maybe they have felt the squeeze while working from home themselves and needed a bigger space to accommodate new office needs. Whatever the case, across Northern Colorado, we saw the …Read More

Another month post-COVID and the Northern Colorado real estate market continues to scream ahead posting record home prices in August in Fort Collins and Loveland. Not to be outdone, Greeley posted near record home prices in August as well. The big boost was record low interest rates for purchases, providing a little bit more buying potential for those buyers who have been struggling to get a h…Read More

July was an absolutely stunning month for real estate sales in Northern Colorado. Across the board, the region saw incredible increases over July 2019 sales figures while continuing to hold steady (or slightly gain) on median values as well. The majority of the sales in July come from contracts that were executed late in May or through June, after all showing restrictions were removed. Once …Read More

Hello fellow nerds. Ready for a deep dive? I'm sure you are...Let's go! Instead of relying on the standard "days on market" number that is most commonly reported, I like to follow the "days til offer" (DTO) to truly understand how quickly our inventory is moving. The reason I like looking at DTO instead of DOM is because days on market can vary for so many different reasons. The closing time…Read More
